Oh I have been slack haven't I? Sorry about that! I've been flat out trying to get into some kind of groove juggling kindy, preschool, working, Noosh and home commitments. Sadly my blog has suffered. I promise I'll be better. Here's something though to tantalise and inspire. These double act decor styles will have you wishing you were blessed with a multiple birth! Though I think that might just tip me over the edge at this point!

Today's tour shows just how great timber tones can look offset against warm white walls with little pops of character pieces for colour. Not usually a fan of timber in its natural state like this, though there's something about the warmth of this home that tugs at my heart.

The cute kids room...

The rest of the house...

love this chair...

...and this hallstand. The perfect spot to put on shoes in the morning.

You might remember seeing part of this room once before here on NooshLoves... well, if nothing else, I like to be thorough, I loved the space so much I just had to find the rest of the room to show you. So, here it is! Eualie's room!

We're lucky enough to have a playroom in our house. It comes at the expense of the boys each having their own room, which for now is fine, but I suspect it'll go at a later date when they start wanting a bedroom each. Until then though, it works well... for them. For me, it's my least favourite room in the house. Why? Because it's a major hazard. Simply by entering that room you take your wellbeing into your own hands. The floor is usually scattered with lego pieces, jigsaw pieces, cars, books and heaven knows what else, and no matter how many storage boxes, labelled drawers, shelves or threats I make, it always looks like a bomb went off in there.

Finding images like these restore my sanity and fuel my hopes for a serene and orderly space where my imaginary angelic children play together without arguments or fights, and they tidy up after themselves before they leave the room.

Do you have a designated play area in your home? Is it like these? Or more like the one I described?

Today, I'm loving this New York brownstone. The owners style is a stunning eclectic mix of retro 50's and Danish design mixed with traditional features of the building and modern influences. Just lovely. So, here's the tour...

Hello! I'm Tina Hutton. One half of NOOSH - online retailer of furniture and accessories for stylish kids. I am mum to 2 energetic boys, a design-type, ex-art director of B and Dolly magazines and now I'm the Weekend Decorator at Home Beautiful magazine. I find myself inspired on a daily basis by beautiful things I see. I'm always looking for ways to entertain my two troublesome boys. I love to spend time nurturing their creativity. Nooshloves is a place I've created so that I can share my finds and ideas and, in turn hopefully inspire you as well...
